Model #t40000r4 pooltimer moved time pointer to change time than read instructions moved pointer back to orginal spot now timer will not click on or off when it pass pins

The time pointer is supposed to be stationary.
On T104 timer the pointer is stationary pointed downward at 6:00 position. So you can move it so it is pointed straight down and add a bit of super glue where pointer meets stem.
Copy following link for instructions how to set T104 timer:

Timer brand and model number are not shown.
Brand and model appear on inside of timer door.

Moving stationary pointer will not affect on-off operation of timer. The pointer is just reference for setting current time.
Worn trippers can cause problem.
Trippers are softer metal and designed to wear down so timer mechanism lasts for decades.

Intermatic pool timers use set of 156T1978A trippers.

Tork timers use P47 tripper on 24-hour clock dial

Paragon 4000 series uses X2772 tripper. Paragon timers are discontinued and trippers hard to find.

Be sure to set the current time of day. To do this: turn yellow dial CLOCKWISE, until correct
line is at end of silver time pointer. Do NOT attempt to move the silver pointer.

You can read the manual at Intermatic's website.

I hope this helps and good luck! Please rate my reply. thank you.

T101 Intermatic is 120Volt electro-mechanical timer

Silver pointer is located at 6:00 position.
Tighten the center screw with star screwdriver
Lift and rotate yellow dial until current time lines up with silver pointer.



How electro-mechanical timers work:
Place ON-OFF trippers on dial.
Trippers rotate around with passing time.
Trippers encounter on-off lever.
OFF tripper clicks lever one direction.
ON tripper clicks lever other direction.
Manual override lever clicks back and forth each time on-off lever is clicked.

You posted under T103 Intermatic timer
Add a comment if you have different brand.
Current time lines up with silver pointer.
Sounds like silver pointer is not at 6:00 position


Review timer operation:
T-103 timer dial rotates around until tripper contacts mechanical lever:
On tripper pushes lever one direction until it clicks, OFF tripper pushes lever other direction.
Each time lever clicks into position, manual-override lever also moves back and forth.
Manual override is connected to same lever that trippers push.



Troubleshoot:
Watch if timer functions as described above.
Click manual override and check that lights turn on-off correctly.
Add a comment if timer is doing something other than described.

The link above shows all the Paragon timers.
If you have the Paragon 4000 mechanical timer, then the pointer is at the 8:00 position.
To set current time, you lift and rotate white dial until current time lines up with the 8:00 position
If this is not your timer, then add a comment with your timer and model number and I'll look it up.

manually turn the dial pass the red pointer. that shoudl shut-off the light.
if not, you have a defective timer.
if it does. follow the instruction set the gree pointer for the time to turn-on and set the red pointer to the time off.
turn the dial one or more revolution till the arrow head in the center align with the time of day in the center windows.

Replace the switch, or the whole control/timer assembly.

If it keeps giving you troubles after replacement, you will need to check the electronic control module (small box) inside the appliance.

hi The dryer timer, located in back of the control panel, controls several things: the drying time of the clothes in the drum, the flow of electricity to the heating element, and the flow of power to the timer motor and the drum motor in the dryer cabinet. 

Timers are driven by synchronous motors. Although the contact part of the timer can be cleaned and adjusted on some dryers, this is a job for a professional repair person. Timer motor repairs should also be handled by a professional, but you can replace a faulty timer yourself. Here's how to test and replace a dryer timer:
Step 1: To access the timer, remove the front of the control panel. On some dryers, the timer can be removed without removing the panel. In either case, pull the timer knob off the shaft and slip off the pointer. The pointer is usually keyed to the shaft by two flat surfaces to keep the pointer from slipping when it's turned.
Step 2: Test the timer with a VOM set to the RX1 scale. Turn the timer to the NORMAL DRY setting and disconnect one of the timer power leads. Some timers may have several wires connected to them: The power leads are usually larger than the other wires, and this size difference can be spotted under close examination. Clip one probe of the meter to each timer terminal. If the meter reads zero, the timer is working. If the needle jumps to a high reading, the timer is faulty and should be replaced. Replace the timer with a new one of the same size and type.
Step 3: To replace the timer, have a helper hold the new timer close to the old one, especially if there are several wires to be changed. Disconnect the old wires one at a time, connecting each corresponding new wire as you work, to make sure the connections are properly made. Or, draw a diagram detailing the proper connections. After all the wires are connected, check the connections again for accuracy.
